CellAlert

CellAlert is the companion app for the CellAlert deadline-monitoring service. A CellAlert account is required to use this app (free to create at cellalert.app). Important deadlines often slumber in a spreadsheet and only surface once it's too late: a missed inspection, an expired certificate, a forgotten contract renewal. CellAlert turns those dates into monitored deadlines and reminds you in time — by email, in your calendar and in this app. With the app your deadlines are always with you, on the go. How the app works with CellAlert: • Deadlines are created in the CellAlert service from your spreadsheets (Excel, LibreOffice, FileMaker). • This app shows them on mobile: today, this week, overdue — and reminds you in time. • Acknowledge and review the history — audit-ready. WHAT CELLALERT IS MADE FOR • Inspections & maintenance: safety checks, servicing, equipment tests, maintenance plans. • Certificates & licenses: keep expiry dates in view before they lapse. • Contracts: renewal and cancellation deadlines on your radar in time. • Compliance & audit: re-certification, calibration cycles, proof obligations. APP FEATURES • Reminders & calendar — push/email plus calendar subscription for Outlook, Google and Apple. • Priority & escalation — critical deadlines remind daily until someone acknowledges. • Recurring deadlines, filters (today, this week, overdue) and a matrix view. • Team — deadlines belong to the organization, with assigned responsibilities. Hosted in Germany, GDPR-compliant. Only the deadline is stored — never your file. Sign in with your CellAlert account — never miss a deadline again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CellAlert at none against Expiry Tracker's 10. CellAlert also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
